Trip Report: Master OPC Meeting sponsored by CG-0931
Itinerary:
- 13 August: Traveled to New London
- 14-15 August: Meetings at the Leadership Development Center
- 16 August: Returned to Hampton Roads
Assisted by: both George and Byron participated in parts of what I participated in. Each of us had some overlap of activity, but not 100%.
Purpose of Trip:
The purpose of this trip was to participate in the CG-0931 sponsored Master OPC meeting, to sit on a panel for the LDC's OPC course, and to participate in a meeting on OPC measurement honcho'd by Byron.
Summary of activity:
- Met all the students in the LDC's OPC course, including the new D5 OPC for whom I'm serving as a mentor. The course was wrapping up; graduation was on Friday.
- Served as a member of the Masters' Panel, a presentation and Q&A for the OPC course students.
- Participated in a meeting of seasoned consultants working to create a customer satisfaction process for the OPC cadre. While Byron was the driver for this session (and facilitated it), t6he owner of this process is the OPC program manager (CG-0931). From this session, we came to consensus on a Level I customer satisfaction determination process which CG-0931 will implement with assistance from the two area program managers (George being one of those).
- Participated in Masters' meeting. Primary agenda item for this session was to develop the strawman for a consulting contract between CG-0931 and CG-01T for OPC support to the four modernization effort initiatives. We developed an initial consulting contract which CG-0931 will take for action to nail down an agreement with CG-01T. Of note, it is proposed that each modernization team (DCMS, DCO, FORCECOM, and OPCOM) will receive support from OPCs and at least one master-level OPC will work with each modernization effort. We also agreed that due to other work, the level of effort for this would be no more than 30%, but it may include contributions from all OPCs throughout the Coast Guard.
Additional topics of discussion included the agenda for the annual OPC conference, this year to be held outside Dulles in northern Virginia the last week of September, and a proposed charter for the master OPC team. The agenda for the conference will include four primary content blocks: direction, information sharing, social networking, and common areas of practice.
